1/ Nabatieh est la ville où j'ai vécu les plus beaux moments de mon enfance, emportée par les saveurs du kebbé banadoura préparée par ma teta et les fameuses Jrich servis dans le vieux Souk authentique

5/ Bien évidement que l’on va tout reconstruire et même mieux qu’avant et mettre en evidence la richesse de notre identité nationale et celle de l’histoire Libanaise - il est hors de question de laisser éradiquer ce patrimoine Libanais précieux

Mustafa Barghouti is an immensely distinguished and thoughtful voice. The arrogance, bigotry and ignorance of the interviewer illustrates the depths to which so much western journalism has sunk.

Are Palestinian voices being stifled? by @Eliana44 and ⁦@YoumnaCham⁩

“Karim Bitar says “The situation is much more open than 30 years ago. If there are attempts to silence voices, it is because they gained recognition and influence public discourse” https://t.co/mbWl0n4wzV

"The kids were burning in the car and I stood there helpless. I couldn't do anything to save them." Samir Ayoubi, the uncle of Rimas, Taline and Leane, the three girls who were killed by an Israeli airstrike on their mother's car in South Lebanon.

Just “for the future prosperity of the country”?!

Come on @UNHCR - there is a comprehensive persecution of women and girls in Afghanistan. Women’s rights should be respected because theyare human beings, not because they contribute to the economy.

Despite an increase in MENA women’s educational attainment, the female labour force participation remains the world’s lowest. Women entrepreneurs are concentrated in informal/low-productivity sectors, & economies are losing out. Diala Mahfouz & @YoumnaCham https://t.co/mlLrbCSTnL

“Female entrepreneurship remains an untapped source of inclusive growth, employment generation, and innovation in a region that still suffers from the largest gender gap in the world when it comes to women in business”

"The aid sector in Lebanon remains in the hands of western-funded, white institutions, somewhat reminiscent of the French mandate" https://t.co/SKgK4boqAr

Rampant corruption in #Lebanon led to donors bypassing the state when sending aid in the wake of the #BeirutExplosion, but has this had unforeseen consequences? @AlexiTouma & @YoumnaCham for the blog https://t.co/1TIEgaP2xr

While patients can't find COVID-19 hospital beds and respirators, politicians in #Lebanon made sure that donated field hospitals lie unused for two months https://t.co/TJJ4G1dXYQ via @TheNationalNews @Sunniva_Rose

The IDF air raid drills over Beirut this morning are so low that the windows rattle each time the jets pass overhead. Windows that just a few months ago turned into weapons, killing and maiming thousands of us. The daily retraumatisation is a real struggle for so many here.
